when the country is getting upset, they blame romney and ryan for getting people upset. they keep changing their story. this is not leadership looks like. we need clarity, not confusion. we need accountability and no more excuses. this tragedy would be troubling in and of itself and tragic in and of itself. but unfortunately we are witnessing the unraveling of the obama foreign policy. when you say it is ok to impose devastating cuts on our military or that we do not need any more m-1 tanks, we are projecting weakness. when we project weakness abroad, our enemies become more brazen. they are more likely to test us. our allies are less likely to trust us. as hot spots are growing abroad, the economy is not growing at home. that is the problem we have to focus on. the economy is growing slower than last year. last year it grew slower than the year before. all the obama is offering is more of the same. we have a big choice to make. do we want more stagnation that fosters dependency or do we want a growing economy that creates opportunities and jobs? [applause] in a nutshell

[video clip] >> i am barack obama and i approve this message. >> mitt romney is attacking obama on medicare. aarp says it strengthens benefits. the ryan plan would undermine these and could lead to higher costs for seniors. experts say ryan's voucher plan could raise future retirees cost more than $6,000. get the facts. host: i want to read some more from that "weekly standard" article. host: talk a little bit about this. >> the comments you just read -- guest: the comment you just read do not sound true to me. this independent payment advisory board is a group of people that would be appointed to help provide ideas for a lowering medicare spending. what happens is it is not a done deal. after they submit recommendations, congress has the opportunity to look at them, change them, make other options. if they do not, the decision goes into place from the ipac. there is a lot of misinformation out there. this group cannot ration benefits, increased premiums for seniors -- there is a lot

even more concern to me, he supports what i call the romney- ryan budget. you have seen the cuts. these are the cuts they intend to pursue. senator knows this very well. we have been telling you exactly what they're going to do. they're going to take an ax to the budget between 17%-20%. where that tax will fall if you believe them, and i do, will be to take out their numbers just by their math that the romney- line budget will cut veterans' benefits by $11 billion. they mean what they say, folks. facts. he took the occasion of last veterans day to propose to a group of veterans that we' voucher the va. that is code for privatize. means was to provide a voucher -- a doctor -- to a soldier, a veteran returning home. ladies and gentlemen, there will be and should be a debate about the role of government. we will have that debate here in north carolina. we will have it in the united states senate. ladies and gentlemen, there should be no debate that it is the essential sacred role of the government to provide for veterans until their final breath.

we will lose our credibility on this. >> what would romney/ryan do? >> we agree with chemical weapons, but not about putting troops in. what we should have done earlier is work with those freedom fighters, those in syria. we should not have called assad a reformer. we should not have voided for russia to give us the green light at the u. n. they are still arming the man. they are flying flights over iraq to help assad. if we had the agreement he said about ira, we probably would have prevented that. >> let me ask you quickly what is your criteria for intervention. >> in syria? what is in the interests of the american people. >> no humanitarian. >> each situation will come up with its own set of circumstances. putting american troops on the ground, that has to be within the national security interests of the american people. embargoes and sanctions -- those are things that do not put american troops on the ground. if you are talking about putting troops on the ground, only in our interests. >> i want to return home for the last few questions. this deba

romney has talked about. it was not very detailed. this seems to be a trend. what it did do -- if you extrapolate it how much money we are talking about, you are looking at cutting education by 20%. when it comes to community colleges, we are seeing great work done out there all over the country because we have the opportunity to train people for jobs that exist right now. one thing i suspect we probably agree on is getting businesses to work with community colleges. >> do you agree? >> let me finish my point. they are partnering -- they are designing training programs and people who are going through them know there is a job waiting for them if they complete it. there requires some federal support. let me say one final example. when it comes to making college affordable, whether it is two- year or four-year, one thing i did is we were spending $60 million to banks and lenders as middlemen for the student loan program, even though they were guaranteed. there was no risk for the banks and lenders, but they were taking billions out of the system. why not cut out
